Welcome to the Charity Clothes Swap!
Why not refresh your wardrobe this spring at the Old Library?
Join us for a sustainable and stylish event while supporting a great cause! This Clothes Swap invites you to spring-clean your collection, clear your unwanted garments, and give your wardrobes a deserved refresh. Not only will you score some fabulous finds, but you’ll also contribute to a meaningful cause, helping to support the Birth Trauma Association, which is an incredible charity that provides support and resources for individuals affected by birth trauma.
Let’s swap, save, and make a difference together!
How It Works:
🌟 Purchase a £5 ticket to participate, all proceeds go to the Birth Trauma Association
🌟 Drop off clothes in advance at the Swap Drop-Off for bonus tokens. If you can’t, please bring them along during the event.
🌟 Drop off your unwanted clothes in exchange for tokens -- 1 token for small items, 2 tokens for large or higher-valued items.
